The following applies to the 2010-2011 CYO basketball season:
Eligibility:
All area youth are invited to participate in basketball at
St. Martin's. However, there are size limits to our program. Out of
all applications received on the two registration days, priority will be given
to:
Attention Catholic Youth: One
of the primary purposes of CYO is the spiritual development of Catholic
youth. In keeping with this purpose, all Catholic children wishing to play
basketball must be enrolled in a religious education program. If you are
enrolled in a religious education program in another parish, a letter confirming
registration from that religious education director must be turned in to the
Athletic Director by October 3. We cannot accept
registration forms for Catholic children that are not enrolled in religious
education.
Children who register for religious education at St.
Martin's also must regularly attend classes.
If these
children also participate in CYO basketball, then they may be
suspended from playing CYO basketball.
Our program requires that all
Catholics provide proof of registration for religious education.
Our parish enforces
this at annual registration ... and our parish will enforce this throughout
the CYO season. Thus, any excessive, unexcused absences by CYO participants from St. Martin's
religious education classes may result in removal from the CYO program
until attendance improves and work is made-up.
Travel: St. Martin's has traditionally fielded travel basketball
teams at each grade level in grades 5 through 8 for boys, and
combined teams in 5th-6th & 7th-8th
grades for girls.
Children from neighboring parishes are eligible if their parish does
not have a travel basketball program.
In addition to the above requirements, if tryouts reveal that there are not enough parishioner players
to field a particular travel team, then non-parishioners (up to 3 per
team per county rules) may be contacted to help form a team.
